Tropical Diseases

The tropical disease has an intrinsic correlation not only with the ecosystem, but also with the social condition of the population. Of poverty, it is also the abandonment of treatment by patients statistics show that abandoning the treatment reaches major proportions in the country, estimates indicate data between 17% and 25%.
The main causes of abandonment can be assigned from a long treatment period, the deficiency in the system of patient care, the false sense of healing after a few weeks of treatment and individual factors (alcoholism, etc ...).
In addition to social factors, there are technical problems, political and administrative, that are common to any public health program. Solve problems involves actions with the use of appropriate technology, structure, basic health, epidemiological approach, policy-making and participation in society.
New paradigms have therefore to be established for the control of tropical diseases.
